Military

I used to think different branches of the service disliked each other but now I get it, we're kind of like siblings; we make fun of them but would do anything to protect them

There is no better way to learn adulthood than joining the military; and I am certain I would not be the person I am today without having served

Just signed up for the Army and now the fear's setting in. How awful was basic training... honestly? I want to know what I'm in for.

Offered a skillbridge internship with a company, best advice for those who have successfully gained employment after? Did you stay at that company or did you seek out other companies?

Do you know anyone who has served in more than one branch of the service? It doesn't seem very common but I'm just curious. Thanks

What benefits do I get if I become disabled during my service?

My parents are scared that something will happen to me if I join the military. How did you guys handle this?

My colleagues are bullying me for being gay. I thought that was against the law. Should I talk to a lawyer?

Should I be scared if one of my superiors is actively threatening me and my safety? I don’t know who to talk to about this.
